Hydrants

Question

Hello, 
 This is my first time really playing with the hydrant feature on watergems. 
 A client is asking if there is a way to input 
 -Field data 
 -photos of the hydrant 
 -date installed 
 -type of hydrant ex. mueller 
 The more simple the explanation the better if possible. Thank you very much!

To add new properties, go to Tools > User Data Extensions and create as many as you want. 
 
To add photos, pick on the element and add Hyperlinks" in the Property Grid. 
 
Check on the Help for these features if you need more details.

Also you can import the field data using tool Darwin Calibrator to compare the field data with the model data and also look for leakages in the system. You can export the results to scenarios from Darwin Calibrator based on field data and compare that with model data. Below is detailed information about the same.
